EMBROIDERY OR ORNAMENTAL STITCH SEWING MACHINE.

To all whom it 'may concern:

Be it known that I, VILLIAM N. Pannes, a citizen of the United States, residing in Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Embroidery or Ornamental Stitch Sewing Machines, of which the following is a description.

This invention relates to the kind of embroidery and ornamental stitch sewing machine disclosed in Patents Nos. 652,326, and 693,606, issued to me June 26, 1900, and February 1S, 1902, respectively. And to the embroidery7 and ornamental stitch sewing machines illustrated and described in my copending applications, Serial No. 288,208, filed November 20, 1905, and patented Dec. 31, 1907 with number 875,624 and Serial No. 289,324, filed November 27, 1905, and Serial No. 289,646, filed November 29, ,1905 and patented Dec. 31, 1907, with number 875,625. In these machines the needle is moved laterally, and the threads are deposited across the lateral zone of vibration of the needle on both sides of the fabric, and means are provided for producing a relative lateral movement between the stitch forming mechanism and the work whereby various ornamental designs are embroidered or stitched.

The invention consists of the parts and combination of parts illustrated and described and specifically set forth in the claims.

Referring to the drawings: Figure 1 is a front elevation of the machine, parts broken away to show the construction and arrangement of the looper mechanism. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the machine, parts broken away to show the location of the looper mechanism. Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the machine, the arm being removed to show the parts under the same. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the carriage and the work carrier.

machine, and Fig. 11 is an under view of said stitching. Fig. 12 is a plan view of a detail in connection with the driving mechanism for the auxiliary looper. Fig. 13 is a detail in connection with the auxiliary finger operating mechanism. Fig. 14 is a diagrammatic view of one form of stitch made when a single needle is used, and Fig. 15 is a part of one of the many designs automatically stitched on this machine. Figs. 16 and 17 illustrate details in the driving mechanism for the ratchet wheel 127.

In the drawings, 1 is the arm of the machine, 2 the base, 3 the driving shaft, and 4 the looper shaft. The looper shaft is driven in a usual manner from the driving shaft of the machine, and revolves in unison with the same, and these shafts are journaled in usual bearings.

A needle-bar 5 is located in usual bearings in the forward end of the arm of the machine, and is reciprocated in a usual manner by the driving shaft. To the lower end of said needle-bar, is secured a needle clamp 6, which carries in a usual manner, needles 7 and 8.

To the forward end of the looper shaft, is secured a gear 9, which is in engagement with a gear 10. rIhe gear 10 is secured to the upper end of a vertically disposed shaft 11, which is journaled in a bracket 12, that is secured to the under side of the base 2 of the machine. Gn the lower end of the shaft 11, is secured a gear 13, which is in engagement with a gear 14, the latter being` secured to the lower end of a vertically disposed shaft 15 that is also journaled in the bracket 12. To the upper end of the shaft 11, is secured a looper 16, on which is formed a beak 17, and to the upper end of the shaft 15, is secured a looper 18, on which is formed a beak 19. T he gear 9 is twice the diameter of the gear 10, and it is therefore to be understood that the looper-s revolve twice to each reciprocation of the needles.

In my copending application, Serial No. 154,457, filed April 27, 1903, patented Dec. 31, 1907, No. 875,618, bobbin controller mechanism for sewing machines, are shown means for automatically controlling a single bobbin. In my present application, I have adapted the mechanism shown in the said copending application to control two bobbins. This mechanism will now be described.

On the shaft 4, and next to the bearing for the forward end of the same, is secured a bobbin controller cam 20. ln bearings 2l and 22, (Fig. o), are journaled ends 23 and 24E of a short shaft 25. To the end 2t of the shaft 25, is secured the upper end 2G of an arm 2T, the loiver end of which is in engagement with a cam groove 28 formed in the cam 20. (Figs 5 and o). @n the end of the shaft 23, is secured a collar 29, Which abuts the bearing 21, and the base 2G of the arm 2T is in contact With the bearing 22, and thus the shaft is retained longitudinally in its bearings. On the shaft 25, and next to the collar 29, is pivoted a controller arm 30 the end of which is adapted to engage a bobbin 31 carried by the looper 19. Next to the base of said controller arm 30, on said shaft 25, is clamped by means of a screw 32 a part 33 on vvhich is formed an extendingv lug 3i. in the side of the arm 30 is secured a pin 35 which rests on the lug 3%. it hole (not shown) is bored in the end of the pin 35, and in said hole is located an extending end BG of a spring 37, that is lo ated on the shaft 25, as shown in Fig '5. The other end 38 of said spring is located in a hole, notl shoivn, that is formed in the side of an adjusting ring 39 that is secured to the shaft A pm el() is located in the side oit the said adjusting ring, and said pin is adapted to engage notches si Which are in the edge of a part 4:2, that is adjus'ably secured to said shaft 25. @n the part 24C of the shaft 25, is secured a collar 4t?. and next to said collar, is pivoted a controller arm est that is adapted to engage a bobbin #lo carried by the looper lo. Next to the base of the controller #it is a part 46 that is clamped to the shaft In the side of the arm eti, is a pin a? 'which rests on a lug S formed on the part 4S. In a bore, (not shown), formed in the end of the pin, is located one end 49 of a spring 50 that is located on the shaft 25, and the other end 5l of said spring is located in a bore (not shown) in the side of an adjustingl ring 52. rihe adjusting ring 52 carries a pin vvhich is adapted to engage notches formed in the edge of the part 42. The springs 35 and i0 normally turn the arms BO and Us so that the pins and 4T press on the lu s Se and l-S. Referring now to the operation of this double bobbin controller mechanism, it is noted that the cam groove 2d is so constructed that the arm 2T is operated to turn the shaft 25, and thereby lift the controllers from the bobbins just previous to the passage of the loops of needle threads between the controllers and the bobbins. Lis it is only necessary to make a passage for the loops of needle thread between the bobbins and controllers, it is evident that it is only necessary to have a very small movement of the arms 30 ant 42st-, and of course a very easy cam action in the groove ing or decreasing the tension of the springs on the arms 30 and 4111-. The parts 33 and serve as a means for lifting the arms 30 and 44 from the bobbins When the shaft oscillated. Said parts and -l-G are clamped to the shaft 25, and it to be understood that they may be readily adjusted so as to bring` the lugs that are formed on them, in proper position for performing their function. For a further explanation and details of the operation of this bobbin controller mechanism. and the advantages of the same, see the before mentioned copending application, Serial No. 154,457.

T he means for securing` the auxiliary embroidery thread or material to one side only of the fabric, ivill nonv be described.

In the forward end of the machine, is mounted in a usual manner, a presser-bar 55, which is depressed in a usual manner by a usual presserbar spring' not shown. A usual presser-bar lifter 5G is adapted to lift said presser-bar against the pressure of the presserbar spring'. Longitudinally through said presser-bar passes a bore in Which is located a rod or bar 5T. To the lou'er end of said rod is clamped by means of a screw 5S, a thread or cord carrying finger 59, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8. Near the end of said finger and on the inner side of the same, is formed a small boss 60, and through said boss, passes a delivery eye Gl. To the lovfer end of the presser-bar 55, is clamped a base G2 of a presser foot G3. A vertical portion G-l extends from the base to a horizontal portion 65, Which terminates into the presser foot Intermediate the base and the part of the presser foot, is a. Way (3G, and in this Way the base of the iinger .'39 just fits and serves as a means for retaining the rod 5T longitudinally in the bar (Fig. (i). In the presser foot, are formed needle openings (3T and G8 which are connected by a tnread passage slot G9, and intermediate the openings G7 and G8, is a tongue T0. rilhrough the presser foot, in front of the needle openings, passes a slot Tl. and through the upturned end 72 passes a slot 7 Just above the slot T3, passes an eye 7st.

On the driving shaft f the machine, is secured a switch cam 75. in a bracket 76. Which is attached to the top of the arm of the machine, is journaled a shortshaft 7T to the front end of which is secured an arm 7S, the lower end of said arm being in engement, in a usual manner, with the si 'itch cam 75. To the rear end of the shaft is secured an upwardly extending ari T in the face of which is formed a Way Sth that extends over the axis of the shaft i' in said ivay, adjustably secured at 8l, the rear end of a connection 82. The fornf'ard end of said connection is connected at 83 to the end of an arm 84, which is secured in the upper end of the rod 57.

The means for lifting` the presser foot from the work, and holding the same from the work during the movement of the same, are as follows: By any suitable gearing, such for example as that which is shown in my application Serial No. 289,324, filed November 25, 1905, or in Fig. 1 of my Patent No. 693,666, issued February 18, 1902, a disk is revolved from the movement of the driving shaft of the machine. On the said disk, is pivoted at 86, the lower end of a link connection 87, thc upper end of which is connected at 88 to the rear end of a lever 89. The lever 89 is pivoted at 90 to a bracket 91, carried by the arm of the machine. The forward end of said lever is at 92 in engagement with a lug 93 extending horizontally from a sleeve 94 that is secured to the top of the presser-bar 55. Referring to the operation of this device for lifting the presser foot, it is noted, the parts are timed so the foot is lifted from the work just previous to the movement of the same, and permitted to be returned to the work by the presserbar spring just as the movement of the work ceases. In the operation of the machine, it is only desirable to just lift the foot from the work, and therefore only necessary to have a very slight movement of the presserbar. Because of these conditions it is found in practice that the usual presser-bar spring will return the foot to the work properly, when the machine is running at a Very high rate of speed, and therefore it is not necessary to move the foot into engagement with the work by positive means.

It is noted that the mechanism that is carried by the presser foot does not in any way interfere with the lifting of the foot from the work the required extent for the insertion and removal of the work from the machine, and the extent required for this purpose is of course, much greater than the extent required for the movement of the work during the operation of the machine.

Any of the work moving mechanisms shown and described in my before stated copending applications may be used in my present machine. The means for revolving the work shown in my said present machine, are the same as the means for this purpose shown and described in my said copending application, Serial Number 288,208. And the means for reciprocating the work, and changing the reciprocating position of the same, are the same as in my Patent 875,626.

The means for moving the work, will now be described.

To a table 95, on which the base 2 of the machine is located, are secured tracks 96 and 97 in which are formed suitable grooves for guiding wheels 98, that are carried by a carrier 100.

work carrier carriage 99. In the carriage, is an opening in which is located a work To the work carrier are secured shoes 101 which are adapted to slide in a groove 102, that is formed in a raised portion 103 that extends around the work carrier opening in the carriage. These shoes and grooves serve as means for guiding the work carrier 100 as it revolves.

To the lower shaft 4 of the machine, is secured an eccentric as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 5, on which is pivoted one end of a pitman 104, the rear end of which is connected to an arm 105 that is attached to one end of a shaft 106. Said shaft is journaled in suitable bearings 107, 108, and 109, that are secured to the table 95. By the pitman connection 104 between the said eccentric, that is carried by the shaft 4, and the arm 105, that is carried by the shaft 106, the latter is oscillated.

To the shaft 106, is secured an arm 110 that is in engagement with a shoe 111 that is carried by a rod 112. The rod 112 is located at its ends in arms 113 and 114, that are secured to a shaft 115. The said shaft 115 is j ournaled in bearings 116 and 117 that extend upwardly from the edge of the carriage 95. In a suitable bearing on said carriage, is located a ratchet wheel 118, that is actuated by a pawl 199, which is carried by a pawl lever 120. The pawl lever is actuated by a connection 121 between the same and an arm 122, that extends downwardly from the base of the arm 114. A suitable gearing (not shown) between the ratchet wheel and the work carrier serves as means for revolving the carrier from the movement of said ratchet wheel. The arm 110 is forked at its ends, and prong 123 of said fork is located in a way 124 formed in the shoe 111, and prong 125 is located ina way 126 formed in the opposite side of said shoe, (Fig. 12). It will be thus understood that the shoe is retained from movement longitudinally of the shaft 112 by the forked end of said arm.

The means used in my before mentioned copending application, Serial No. 290,945, filed December 8, 1905, for giving the work carrier its primary reciprocating movement, will now be briefly described.

On the work carrier carriage 99, is pivoted to rotate a ratchet wheel 127. In the upper side of said ratchet wheel, is formed a cam groove 128, and by means (not shown) intermediate the same and a slide 129, the latter is reciprocated when the ratchet wheel is rotated. The slide 129 is suitably carried by a bracket 130, which latter is attached to the work carrier carriage. On the work carrier carriage, is adjustably secured a bracket 131, which carries a lever 132 that is pivoted at 133 in the said bracket. By a suitable connection between the slide 129 and the lever 132, the latter is osciliated when the slide is reciprocated. ln the face of the l Tver, is formed a segmental way 131i, which extends across the axis of the pivot otl the lever 132. ln the said Yay, are adjustably secured stops 185 and 190, andiiite mediate ot said steps, in the way, is adjustably secured one end et a connection 13T. Gn the base of the irm 118 and extending downwardly from the s ne is formed ai arm 113% in the tace ot which is a way in which is adjustably secured the rear end 138 ot the connection 180 (se Fig. 1G). he it rward end of said connection is secured to a pawl lever 139a which carries a pawl that engages th ratchet wheel 12T as shown in Fig. 17. t will now be understood that it the ratchet wheel 12T is revolved, the lever 132 will be oscillated, and that iiE the connection 13T is held from movement, and the end of the same adjusted to one side ot the pivot of the lever 132, the worlr carrier carriage will be reciprocated. rl`his l call the primary reciprocating movement ot the work carrier arr'age.

l will describe briefly, the means by which a secondary reciprocating movement is transmitted to the carriage.

To the rear end ot the shat't 100, is secured an arm 14,0, to which is adjustably secured at 1-11, the rear end ot a connection 1&2. The means t'or adjusting this connection toward and troni the pivot oit the arm 1&0, aie ot' usual construction; so that the end et the connection 1111 n ay be located over the axis ot the shaft 100, or adjusted away from the saine. The forward end ot the connection 112 is at 1123 onnected to a pawl lever 1111, which carries a pawl 115. l`he pawl 115 is in engagement with ratchet wheel, (not shown), that is suitably pivoted in a bracket 110. `as upwardly extending ientioned copending .9 m y 1 wo. and -i-, liled .Decenibei S, 1005, i.. sl rotated when the ratchet wheel (not own), is rotated.

By this worlr moving ineehanisn., that has been briefly described, it is to be understood that the work is rotated and recipr cated laterally simultaneously with said rotary movement, by the mecianisin operated by the ratchet wheels 11S and 127. lt also to be understood that trom the rotary movement ot the dish, 150, and the mechanism intermediate the same iid lthe lever 132, the reciprocating position of the woilr cai'ier carriage automatically changed. The speed ot the movement ot the atchet wheels 11S and 12T and the disk 150, are all sepa ately adjustable and their angulai position relative to each other, is also under adjustment. By these mechanisms, the worl; may be rotated and moved laterally in such in anner as to locate the embroidcry stitches so to produce an endless variety ot embroidered or stitched designs.

it it is desired to have the embroidery stitches deposited on the fabric, so as to make a wide path of embroidery, two needles are used in the machine, and these are separated 'the extent of the Zone that its is desired to to 'ci' with the` embroidery stitches. The loop/w are of course, separated the c for cooperation with the @Je loo-)ers as shown in my preson, are not under lateral ad- I to each other. 1n pracied that the loopers be to each other laterally, rcrieer and the size and 11 are changed h change in the lateral ners relative to each other.

.tit

. indicates an auxiliary and 155 and 15G the needle et wiich, in combination -r threads, the auxiliary cord Lied to the fabric. .ln practice,

forward so that the lateral strands of the auxiliary thread, lie right next to each other on the surface of the fabric, as indicated in Fig. l5.

1f it is desired to run a tape or filling material under the embroidery threads, it is passed through the slot 74 and slot 7l under the presser foot. These slots are of such an extent, that the embroidery thread covers the tape or filling material run through the same. lf it is desired to run through a piece of tape or the like,` that is broader than the zone of embroidery stitches, the slots may of course, be made wide enough for this purpose.

The auxiliary thread is passed through the eve 7l to the eye 6l in the finger 59, and as this finger oscillates back and forth, the auxiliary thread is stitched to the fabric, as indicated in Fig. 10. As the auxiliary thread is stitched to the fabric, it extends across the tongue 70, which latter prevents undue strain on the fabric from the tension of the cord and threads.

lVhile a plurality of needles and operating loopers are illustrated in this application, it is to be understood that a single needle may be used to advantage. For example, one of the loopers and needles may be removed from the machine, and an ornamental stitch eect produced. As means are provided for moving the work so as to cause the stitch to be deposited in an endless variety of designs, many very desirable effects may be produced in this machine, by the use of a single needle, and a coperating looper.

It is to be understood, as before noted, that it is one of the main objects of this invention, to deposit the embroidery thread or cord on one side of the fabric only, in a machine of the character described. It is obvious that the means herein described for accomplishing this result may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention. Therefore it is to be understood that applicant does not wish to be confined to the specific preferred form of his invention as herein disclosed.

In Fig. ll, is shown the underside of the stitching indicated in Fig. 10. In any of the desions stitched, when two loopers are used, as shown, the threads lie in a straight path on the underside of the fabric, as indicated in said Fig. 1l; but it is to be understood that the device herein described, may be used to advantage in combination with a single looper, and a plurality of needles. Then so used, the looper thread would cross the zone between the needles on the underside of the fabric, and the auxiliary thread the zone between the needles on the upper side of the fabric.
